They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event that a number of the most famous modeling agenies(中介) from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune(名利) clouded my judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and at last they agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For .months, any boredom or disappointment that I faced disappeared because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would appear in the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasnt signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 59 (about 1.75 meters) I could be a success. I sprayed for a growth spurt(冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I met with a local modeling agency and the agent required $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot(拍摄), and $300 for other fees. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions but with every day I did not receive a call, I grew more disappointed. The final chance came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call(公开挑it) in New York City. We spent hours driving and spent another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short, I could hardly stand it.Years later, I realize that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didnt actually love modeling, just the idea of it.1 wanted to be special and I naively(天真地)decided to reach an impossible goal.

She spends lots of money on Taobao.A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Sarah have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home-use products bought online are the most popular.It was reported that more than 300 billion yuan was spent on online shopping last year. 80% through Taobao.Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.You many question the securitv of online shopping. Sarah said, “Its safe, fast and easy.

Do you argue whether its cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephants trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephants side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animals tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephants tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephants legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephants ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each mans idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, its often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water.
